Hey everyone! I'm Mitch. I've been lurking for a couple weeks since I bought an 07 Silverado Vortec Max LTZ. I absolutely love this thing. It only has 60k on it and is in absolute mint condition.The previous owner put wheels on it and did a catback exhaust. Not sure what the exhaust is but it sounds pretty good and isn't obnoxious. Since I bought it, I've added an Airaid MIT, an aFe filter, and a Blackbear tune. LOVE the tune. They went above and beyond. I wanted the AFM to be more active so what they did is made it stay on longer while the selector is in 3rd. I've been averaging about 18-22mpg in town since I've had the tune.

My other truck is a Zr2 S10 and I was a pretty active member over on Zr2USA, so hopefully I can find a way to contribute here as well.

Never heard of it, had to google to find it. Not too far away. I farm a couple miles East of Cedar Rapids.

It's somewhere. I got stuck on an embarrassing bill at the dunes- realized I hadn't carried enough momentum and gunned it, only to slide up close to a tree. John, Jason and Chris got me out of it thankfully.

I really wish I had a picture of me pulling John when he got stuck on exit hill. That would be worth about a million bucks over on zr2usa.

Who is fist pumping in that pic of you launching off the dune? And way to make sure your door didn't fall off. :lol:

      Gas Prices

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
